Though all T219s are much tougher than T218 this series of fifty smaller versions of some T218 fighters features significant brand rarities. Honest Long Cut (“HLC”) cards are several times scarcer than Hassan or Mecca T218. Miners Extra is tougher still. Red Cross is nearly impossible. To give you some idea using published data SGC has graded 497 HLC cards and 163 Miner’s Extra cards. The SGC population of Red Cross is 32 cards which represents a scant 4.6% of the graded population of T219 cards. This lot has five of them: Owen Moran (SGC 30) Knock Out Brown (SGC 20) Willie Lewis (SGC 20) Fred Welsh (SGC 20) and Billy West (SGC 10).
